New York, New York (January 19, 2021)\u00a0\u2013 The following statement was issued by Zhengyu Huang, President of Committee of 100:<\/p>\n
\u201cOur country is at an inflection point where the policies, principles, and politics of the next four years will dramatically\u00a0shape\u00a0the future of our country. There has never been a more important moment to come together as one\u00a0people. As such, we call on all parties to ensure a safe and peaceful Inauguration Day.<\/p>\n
Committee of 100\u2019s\u00a0members are proud American citizens who value our Chinese cultural heritage. We are an organization united\u00a0in\u00a0our belief in core American values and the fundamental principles of equality and fairness for all people, regardless of race, religion, national origin, gender, or creed.<\/p>\n
We believe that America is stronger because of its immigrant heritage and diverse citizenry. The lawlessness and rioting which took place at the U.S. Capitol this month are\u00a0unacceptable and\u00a0a stark reminder of the dangers that lay ahead and the importance of this moment\u00a0for\u00a0national unity. As an American organization founded more than 30 years ago, Committee of 100 calls on all fellow Americans to come together to rebuild our country post-COVID and\u00a0to\u00a0ensure\u00a0equality and inclusion for all. Committee of 100 also stands ready to assist\u00a0in\u00a0a more productive US-China relationship to facilitate a speedier global recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
